• Teso sub <\/span>region ha<\/span>s for a long time suffered from food insecurity. Majority of the population from these regions largely depend on agriculture for their livelihood. The variant factors that have contributed to low crop yields over time have significantly affected these communities. <\/span>The contributors to low crop yields include soil degradation arising out of poor farming methods and environmental degradation through deforestation and wetland utilization. The environmental degradation is worsening the effect of climate change which is further lowering crop yields. This strategic plan <\/span>focuses on strengthening the communities to be resilient and food secure. To significantly address poverty in the<\/span> Teso sub region, whose population is largely rural and dependent on <\/span>Agriculture, investing in resilient livelihood interventions is necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
• \u00a0<\/span>Adaptation to better farming methods that will increase food production for both consumption and <\/span>market is prerequisite. Access to markets to sell agricultural produce and improve household income will help to address poverty. The strategic plan will also focus on agro-processing (value addition) and diversification into non-agro based production. Under this programme area, COU-TEDDO will carry out the following strategic actions:<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
